Bogdan, I apologize for not getting back to you earlier on this. What a cool little script... I will definitely work on this and see if we can't make it into some kind of plugin. Perhaps modified in some way. Since BoltWire can read most simple html tags, this may be a good way to go for simple editing.
The problem is these ajax editors don't really work with wiki's (very well at least) because the page content should be saved in markup. But these convert the button clicks to html. What I'd really like to do is figure out a way to get wikiwyg.net to work with BoltWire. Possibly not that hard. It converts between html and wiki markup on the fly allowing you to save as markup, and edit either visually, or directly. Or html for that matter. Their site seems down right at the moment, but I've tinkered with it before and like what they've done. It does not seem overly complex. Just need to find some time to work on it, and it hasn't been a pressing matter for me personally. Many wiki's are using this script... This is one of those projects I'd like to see someone else champion and maintain. I'm kind of spread thin already. Which means it may be awhile. If someone cares to tackle it, I'll do my best to help...
